Once upon a time there was Tim the mouse and Kwak the frog. And they were good friends. They lived in a big nice forest on a huge beautiful planet Earth.
Hello Uncle Dub! - Tim and Kwak said in chorus, lifting their muzzles and smiling cheerfully.
Hello, guys, - the ancient Oak rustled in response. - How are you doing? What new did you learn about our vast world?
Uncle Oak, every day we learn something interesting about our beautiful planet. But there is so much more that we do not yet know,” Kwak replied.
Maybe someday we'll know as much as you do, Uncle Oak. It's so interesting! Tim said.
I am happy for you guys that you are interested in living on our wonderful planet! She is so beautiful that it is impossible not to admire her marvelous beauty, enchanting sounds and unusual aromas. It's nice to wake up in the morning and see how everything around wakes up with the sunrise. It's nice to feel the living breath of the Earth.
But not everywhere is as good and calm as in our lovely forest. The people who inhabit our planet are building large stuffy cities where it is impossible to enjoy the wonderful aromas of nature. In such cities, because of the terrible noise, neither the singing of birds nor the murmur of water is heard. Humans are generally strange creatures. They look like insatiable monsters, ready to take everything for themselves. They cut down forests, disfigure the Earth, trying to get minerals - and in those places it is already impossible to admire the beauty of the planet. They do not feel the pain they inflict on her, inflicting terrible wounds. Where the Earth is covered in asphalt, it is impossible to feel the breath of the planet, so it seems to people that it is inanimate and cannot be hurt when iron fangs pierce it.
Uncle Oak, are all people terrible monsters? - the frog was alarmed.
No, guys, among them there are those who care not only about themselves, but also about the world around them. These people carefully keep in their hearts a sacred spark called love. They are creators who do not allow terrible monsters to destroy our beauty.
So not everyone on Earth is as lucky as you, Tim and Kwak. You're lucky! You can enjoy everything that our planet gives us. And some people don't have it at all. Let me tell you a story about a little horse - a pony.
Tell me, tell me, the friends rejoiced.
They made themselves comfortable and prepared to listen. And the ancient giant began his story:
- In one big and noisy city, people built a zoo to keep animals in cages and show them to everyone.
Horrible! - exclaimed the frog, - who wants to live in a cage!?
No one volunteers to go there, Kwak. People are catching animals all over the planet and putting them in cages. So, in this zoo lived a little pony. People called him Tiny because when he was caught in the wild steppes, he was a tiny tiny horse. It was scary and bitter for the little one to find himself without a mother in a terrible place where strange strangers stare at him all the time, where there is no emerald grass and a cheerful Sun.
Over time, the pony learned to eat what was brought to him, ceased to be afraid of people always passing by him, got used to his small stuffy cage in which he was planted. The little pony grew, but the older he got, the more sadness was seen in his eyes. Longing for his homeland lived in his soul - a beautiful and free steppe. His heart was tormented by bitter resentment for those who took away his freedom. Every day the little horse got worse and worse.
One morning the pony could not get up, he did not have the strength to enjoy life. "What happened with me?" he thought and tried to get up, but his strength left him, and he buried his muzzle in the crumpled hay. “It's all because of the people who put me in this hateful cage,” he said and wept bitterly.
He lay like that all day and all the next day. He didn't eat anything because he didn't feel like it. People were worried about Tiny's condition. A veterinarian came to see him, a man with large round glasses. He examined the pony and said that he could not help him, the pony was dying.
The woman who always fed Tiny and cleaned his cage was very upset. She fell in love with the little horse, because it grew up before her eyes. She decided to take Baby to her home. Her family lived outside the city, they had a large wooden house with carved architraves, which was built by her grandfather almost a hundred years ago. There was a large green lawn in front of the house, and behind it was a beautiful old garden.
The woman thought: “Baby will be fine with us, maybe we can save her”? Her little daughter of eight years old, whose name was Annushka, often visited her mother at work. She also loved the little horse and often asked: “Mom, let's take Baby to our home!”.
And Annushka's dream came true. The zoo authorities allowed the pony to be taken away and helped to transport the horse home. When Anya saw the pony in the yard of her house, she was so delighted that she ran with all her might to Tiny and hugged him tightly by the neck. But looking into his eyes, she felt that her little friend needed help.
Mom, what's wrong with him?
He fell ill, Annushka, - her mother answered her, - maybe we can cure him?
Of course it will! - the girl said hotly, - because I love him so much! And she pressed her cheek against the horse's neck, stroking its short mane.
Kroshka lived with Annushka for several days, but his condition did not improve. The girl arranged for him in the entrance hall a soft, cozy bed of fragrant hay, gave him fresh milk to drink, but he still did not eat anything and only lay motionless with eyes closed. Longing and resentment still lived in the heart of the little pony and therefore he did not get better.
And then one morning, when a ruddy dawn broke out in the east, Annushka came to her horse to wish her good morning. Seeing that Tiny was not recovering and he was not getting better, she put her arms around his neck and wept softly:
“My little horse, I love you so much!” Please do not die!
Large tears fell on the muzzle of a pony. Little didn't understand what was going on. He raised his head, dusted himself off and fluttered his black eyelashes.
Baby, my sweet Baby, I'm so glad you're awake!
The pony opened his eyes wide, sat up in his fragrant bed and smiled at the girl.
“I’ll bring you fresh milk and sweet carrots,” Annushka said happily and ran to the kitchen, while Tiny remained sitting with a satisfied face.
He took a deep breath of fresh air, and it reminded him of his home. He looked out the window at the flaming dawn, and it seemed to him like those wonderful dawns in the steppe that they met with their mother. Tiny got up, then got to his feet and slowly walked towards the exit. Annushka, who ran out of the house, gasped! She was glad that the strength returned to the little pony again.
Together they went out into the street and froze, looking at the rising glow of a fresh morning. The sun's rays spread across the sky like a magic crown. The bird choir heralded the beginning of a new day. An amazing melody resounded over the meadows and copses, carried away into an unknown height. The mysterious moment of awakening was approaching.
The first rays of the sun burst out from behind the horizon, illuminating everything around and melting the remnants of sadness in Kroshka's soul, and flashing bright sparks of delight in Annushka's heart. Friends stood enchanted by magic sunlight. Their little hearts were filled with quiet tender joy, they were happy.
- How beautiful! – said the girl and looked at the pony. “I love you so much, my sweet horse.
I love you too," the pony smiled.
Can you speak? - Annushka exclaimed joyfully and hugged Kroshka by the neck. - You will no longer be sick and blues?
No, I won’t,” the pony told her. - When you see this majestic Sun, it is impossible to mope. Come on, you and I will meet the dawn every morning, as we once met with mom.
We will definitely! Annushka said.
All day the girl and the pony played on the emerald lawn: Annushka read Kroshka a book about the steppes and savannas, they tumbled in the grass, admired the clouds floating in the sky, dreamed and had fun from the heart. There was no trace of Tiny's disease. Tiny was very glad to be here, next to this amazing little girl with the gentle name of Annushka.
In the evening, when my mother returned from work and saw how cheerfully the sick pony was frolicking yesterday, she could not believe her eyes.
Annushka, what happened?
Nothing special, mommy! It’s just that Baby and I met the dawn today and the gentle sunbeams melted black sadness and resentment in his soul, we drove them away forever, and now he is healthy! Baby even ate all the semolina, can you imagine mom?
Mom hugged her daughter and her little friend. She was very glad that Baby got better. It was incredible, but a miracle happened!
You have a good mother,” said the pony. My mother was also very kind.
Mom, did you hear? Baby said you were kind!
No, Annushka, I didn't understand what he said.
But don't you hear what he says? Annushka wondered. “Because I understand him!
I always knew that you were a special girl for me, - my mother kissed her daughter on her rosy cheek.
Since then, the little pony has remained to live in an old house with carved architraves. When Annushka became an adult, she went along with Kroshka on a long journey to the endless steppes, where a little pony was once born. And there, among the expanses of the steppe, they found Kroshka's mother. It was a touching meeting.
Pony always remembered his mother and dreamed of returning to his home. And Annushka helped his dream come true. The little one was happy.
Annushka stayed with Kroshka's family for several days and went home. She promised to come to visit her good friend - a pony. Here is such a story, - summed up Uncle Oak.
Tim and Kwak simply beamed, as if they had found their homeland and their beloved mother. They were happy for the little pony, for the kind girl Annushka, who grew up and became, of course, a real beauty: after all, only beautiful people can do such wonderful things!
Once upon a time there were ponies, there were 6 of them. They lived in Ponyville. They were best friends and personified 6 elements of harmony. These are Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack, Fluttershy and Merry Pinkie Pie. They are just the main characters of our stories.
One day, when Twilight was cleaning with Spike in the library, she found a book - "Pajama parties and their charms." And then Twilight thought: "Why have we never had a pajama party?" And Twilight decided to have a Pajama party. She called all 6 friends of the elements .Prepared.And began to wait.She could not wait for the pajama party.And when everyone came and sat on the bed, suddenly a storm (very strong) started and the lights turned off.Everyone got scared (except Sparkle),Sparkle lit a candle and said: -the lights went out because of the storm, the storm will end and everything will be fixed. "Then everyone calmed down and Pinky offered to tell horror stories. Everyone liked it
Her idea. And then Pinkie began: "One dark night, a toothless allegator-Nibbler climbed into the bed of a funny pony!". No Pinkie, said Apple Jack. began to tell: "Once upon a time there was one little pony, she was very brave and curious. Her name was Konykale. And one day when she was playing ball, he got into the Evergreen Forest! She was not afraid and went ahead. Meanwhile in the forest: Evil witch Elodie made her evil plans. And suddenly she saw in her cauldron a picture of a little pony walking through the forest. She went to Conicale on a broomstick. Meanwhile, the unsuspecting Conicale was walking through the forest for her ball and suddenly she met an old woman with a basket of apples. The old woman treated Konical and Konical, after biting 1 small piece, lost consciousness and woke up already in the castle in chains opposite the witch. She screamed, but no one heard her. a prince with a crown on his head and a sword white and sharp as a crust of snow. The witch got angry and tried to stop him, but he anyway entered the castle and defeated the witch by thrusting the sword into her heart. And the pony and the prince left the forest and they lived happily ever after .End." Everyone liked the story but Rainbow said that it was not scary and then she began to tell: "When I was little and I was 4 moons (years) and I was just as fast and brave, I went to the flight camp. One day in the evening on a rainy and scary evening, when my friends boys and I gathered in the guest house, I said, “I wouldn’t fly in such weather,” and then my friend Wilt said, “It’s hard to pass the flight route in such weather now !!!” and of course I answered the call and left the house (everyone looked out the window) and I flew the wind at a breakneck speed blew in my face, but I flew further over the canyon of Death. Suddenly something went wrong and I fell down, I hit my hand and wing hard, but I flew further and flew to the finish line! I was immediately taken to the honey item and I had dislocations but I won the bet!!!" In short, one tediousness. Rainbow 1 did not listen to her. Sparkle offered to tell Rarity's horror story, but she refused, said that she was busy with a manicure. And she did not want to waste her time on all sorts of nonsense. he got poisoned!" And then she decided to tell the legend of Eyeless Steve. And she began: "I want to tell the legend of Eyeless Steve and his house mostre! Many thousands of years ago, there lived one pony, his name was Steve, he loved adventures and got into them all the time. And then one day . . . . . "Rainbow intervened: "It's a legend, and we're telling horror stories." Everyone looked at Rainbow, and Twilight continued: "And one day Steve went for a walk and he disappeared on the outskirts of the forest. And every time someone comes at least a kilometer to the outskirts, at night they meet the ghost of Eyeless Steve!" Everyone was very frightened. And then Pinky began to mutter with her head down: "Pink ... Pinky ... Pinky ... "Pinky's eyes lit up bright red, and she became like a ghost and loud as a microphone: "I'm Pinkamina! How dare you name and tell the story of Eyeless Steve!" helped her up and put her on the bed. She asked: "Pinky, what's wrong with you oh?" And Pinky answered: "I don't know, everything breaks with me every full moon, I see darkness and then I come to my senses." Then the spark ran to the library and started looking for something. Everyone did not understand anything. And then Sparkle pulled out an old dusty thick book. And began to read aloud: "The Legend of Eyeless Steve and Pinkamine. There is such a legend that Pinkamina and her ghost appear in the bodies of ponies who heard or told the Legend of Eyeless Steve, and every full moon until the pony drink grass from the Evergreen Forest. Grass. . . . . .Kolita "And as soon as they heard this, they ran to Zekora to take the grass, but Zekora did not have it; she was in the balot of Slimy, in the balot of crocodiles. And they went to the lake. Rainbow decided to go. She flew up to the middle of the lake and she pulled her hand plucked some grass and they went to Zekora, Zekora made tea and gave it to Pinky. After they returned to the library and the light turned on and our ponies began to play and have fun.
Once upon a time there lived a little pony in the Almaty circus. He was black from nose to tail, so he was called Chernysh. In his youth, he was very fast and agile. During performances, he cheerfully jumped in the arena and delighted small children. Young spectators especially liked it when the monkey Dasha rode Chernysh and made faces.
When the pony grew old, the director of the circus, a pot-bellied and kind uncle, sent him to a well-deserved retirement. Chernysh no longer performed in the arena, but he met the children in the area in front of the circus and rolled them around the fountains on his back. Chernysh was very fond of children. He loved to carry them on his back, loved it when they stroked his muzzle when they took pictures with him. The boys, sitting on Chernysh, imagined themselves as heroes from fairy tales, who, with a sword in their hands, fought with terrible dragons. And the girls imagined themselves as little princesses who rode through the fairy forest to their friends - fairies. So Chernysh rode his little horsemen before each performance.
But one winter, right before the New Year, Chernysh forgot to wear a scarf for a walk, and in the evening he had a fever. The pony is sick. All the next day he lay in his aviary and drank medicine. The doctor did not allow him to go outside for several more days, and the circus director closed the door of his enclosure from the outside, so that the pony would not run out into the street and get even sicker. Chernysh could not open the door from the inside, so he was very sad, because he really wanted to see the children.
When the doctor came a few days later, he noticed that the pony no longer had a cough and fever, but, unfortunately, he was not recovering. The doctor again forbade him to go outside, and Chernysh became even more sad. The doctor did not know that the pony could not recover in any way, because he missed his children. Chernysh stopped eating and drinking, and lay quietly in his bed.
One morning the monkey Dasha, with whom they used to perform, was walking along the corridor and heard Chernysh crying quietly in his enclosure. Dasha wanted to let Chernysh out, but the door was tightly closed. Monkey Dasha grabbed with four paws and pulled the door hard, but the door did not open. She pulled again, the door remained closed. Then Dasha, firmly grabbing her tail, pulled the door with all her might, and it swung open! Seeing that the path to the street was free, Chernysh was delighted and ran out of the enclosure, shouted to the monkey Dasha “Thank you!” and ran into the street.
Having jumped out to the platform in front of the circus, Chernysh saw the children who had come to the performance. Noticing Chernysh, they began to joyfully wave their hands to him and called him to play. Chernysh was so delighted that he galloped towards them faster than the wind. Boys and girls surrounded him and started hugging and petting him. The pony was so happy to be around the kids again.
The whole day Chernysh rode his little friends on his back. And in the evening, when he came to his place, he ate a whole plate of porridge and drank a bottle of milk. Chernysh was very happy. He felt very strong and healthy. Seeing the children and playing with them, Chernysh finally recovered! Smiling, he lay down in his bed, covered himself with a blanket and fell asleep soundly.
From that day on, Chernysh never got sick again!
In a distant and mysterious country called Equestria, beautiful little ponies lived. They were very good and fair, so peace, tranquility and harmony reigned among them. Princess Celestia, the wise ruler of Equestria, did everything to ensure that her subjects were cozy and comfortable in their native land. Her younger sister, Luna, helped her in this, as well as little girls, whom many already had the opportunity to meet by watching a cartoon about a pony. In the country of horses and unicorns, it was quiet and calm, as usual, until unusual events took place, which our fairy tale about ponies will tell you about, which is especially interesting to read if you already know who Twilight Sparkle is. If this heroine is still a stranger to you - no problem, sit down comfortably and get ready to plunge into the magical world of goodness, harmony and exciting adventures.
Twilight Sparkle's New Adventure: A Pony Looking for Friends
Twilight Sparkle or Twilight Sparkle is a little unicorn pony who loves to dream, do good and make new friends. She will be the main character of our fairy tale.
One day, Princess Celestia decided to give the little adventurer a new challenge: since Twilight already understood what true friendship is and made friends with the same kind ponies as she is, it was time to apply this skill a little wider. Therefore, the wise princess told the little dreamer that the country of Equestria is not the only one in the world: ponies have many neighbors, and their life is not always as calm and peaceful. There are disputes and quarrels, and the inhabitants are used to thinking only about themselves. The reason for this is simple - they do not know how to be friends at all. Moreover, they don’t even know what friendship is. Therefore, Twilight Sparkle must go on a long journey to tell others that friendship is a miracle that can change the world for the better.
Barbie and sisters in a fairy tale about ponies: will they be able to make friends
The first on the way Twilight met the country of Barbie. Pony heard a lot about these magical beauties, so she was very glad to visit them. However, what was her disappointment when it turned out that Barbie was not only not friends at all, but also did not do anything useful all day long. The little pony Twilight was not only very kind, but also hardworking, so she could not understand how all day long one could only try on new dresses, make beautiful hairstyles and show off. And that's how life went on in the beauties of Barbie.
Twilight was so upset that at first she even wanted to just quietly leave this country of eternal disputes: who is more beautiful and more fashionable. But she remembered the task of the princess in time, and became more determined. She thought it was not good to condemn girls for their actions, since the desire to be beautiful is natural, and that there is another beauty in the world - internal, most likely no one told them. So Twilat decided that this was her mission.
Having got acquainted with the beauties of the Barbie country, first of all, the pony said that she admires their beauty. The girls were very happy, because in Twilight they saw an independent expert who can determine which of them is the most beautiful. The little pony could not help but take advantage of this opportunity and organized a big beauty contest. Barbie prepared so hard for it that they even forgot about their boasts and arguments. In addition, they had to learn needlework, because the pony came up with contests for which it was necessary to sew dresses, prepare culinary masterpieces and come up with interesting decorations.
Here comes the day of the contest. What was Barbie's surprise when absolutely everyone became the winners, because someone danced better, and someone managed to cook the most delicious dish. The girls realized that there was no more need to argue, because each of them is special and the best. They were very pleased, as constant quarrels only darkened their lives and made the beauties lonely. And now that the differences are over, you can be friends and spend time together, which is much more fun.
Little Twilight was in seventh heaven with happiness: she coped with the first task successfully. And although the time has come to leave the country of Barbie, the fairy tale about the pony is not over yet: there are many more interesting adventures ahead of the good unicorn.

One day, Applejack wanted to eat Granny Smith's delicious apple pie. "What to do, it's already late autumn, the apples are harvested ..." - she thought, and decided to go to her grandmother for advice.
"Grandma, hi," Applejack said. - I really want to eat your delicious apple pie, but we made jam from all our apples, and you can’t get new ones.
“Far, far away,” began Granny Smith, “beyond the Everfree Forest, beyond the Great Rocky Gorge, beyond the Desert Plain, there are three apple trees, on which apples ripen all year round. Bring them to me and I'll bake you a cake.
- Okay, granny, - Applejack nodded and went to collect things for the trip.
- Applejack! Apple Bloom called out loudly to her sister from her room.
- What do you want? she asked, sticking her head in the door. The little pony was sitting at the desk and doing homework.
- Sister! I want to take a trip to the Everfree Forest too! Take me with you! Tomorrow is the day off and I don't have to go to school!
"Okay," Applejack agreed, thinking that the two of them would bring more apples. - Just be a good girl and finish your homework first.
anticipating incredible adventure, Apple Bloom quickly finished her homework and went to pack with her sister.
In their saddlebags [these are two bags connected by straps, they are thrown over the back of the horse so that one bag is on the right and the second on the left] the ponies put:
- food so that there is something to eat on the road
- matches to light a fire
- a pot to cook food
- penknife - an indispensable thing in any campaign
- bandages and plaster - to seal injured hooves
- soft blankets to sleep in
- warm clothes so as not to freeze if the wind blows
- two large baskets for apples
Phew, Applejack snorted. “Everything was collected, nothing was forgotten. What good fellows we are! Tomorrow we wake up at five in the morning.
The next day, before dawn, two ponies came out of their bedrooms. Quietly, so as not to wake anyone, they went down from the second floor to the kitchen, had breakfast and went out into the street. Ponyville was still asleep, and soon they were past Fluttershy's house, not far from which was the Everfree Forest.
There were many, many winding paths in the Everfree Forest and the travelers were completely confused - at first they walked along one path to the right, then along another path to the left, then right again, then left, left-right, right-left ... From such a frequent change of direction Baby Apple Bloom felt dizzy.
- Little sister, - she called timidly after the next turn, - are you sure that we are going the right way?
- And then! Applejack shook her mane proudly. To tell the truth, she was not at all sure that she was going in the right direction, but not to scare the little one, right?
The forest grew thicker and darker, darker and thicker, when the ponies finally came to a small clearing. A very tall tree grew in the middle of the clearing. So high that the ponies, with their heads up, could not see its upper branches. Here Applejack could not resist:
- Wait here, Apple Bloom. I'll climb a tree and see where the Great Rocky Gorge is.
“Okay, big sister,” Apple Bloom said quietly, and thought that Applejack had already lost her way and they were walking at random. But Apple Bloom was a very kind foal, so she decided not to offend her sister with vain reproaches. She knew how hard it was. Do you have any idea how hard it is for a PONY to climb a TREE?
While Applejack climbed up, fell off the branches, and climbed again, Apple Bloom gathered dry twigs from the clearing and put them in a small pile. She knew for sure that matches were not toys for little foals. So she decided to wait for her sister to make a fire. Then it remains only to cook food and eat - wandering through the forest, the ponies were rather hungry.
It was a long time before Applejack flew down from above, breaking branches. Her hat fell off and rolled to the other end of the clearing. Painfully knocking her croup on the ground, the pony wept bitterly.
- How difficult it is for a pony to climb a tree! All the sides were peeled off on the branches! she complained, sobbing. - So high and scary! And barely viiiidno!
Don't cry, Applejack! Apple Bloom supported her. She flipped open the flap of her saddle bag, took out a band-aid, and carefully patched up all her sister's scratches to keep dirt out. Applejack immediately cheered up (she was very pleased that she had such a caring little sister) and busied herself with dinner.
Since the ponies now knew the way, they quickly reached the Great Rocky Gorge. Now they had to go along a long road between two high, sheer cliffs. No matter how the ponies peered into the distance, there was no end to the rocks.
But we certainly won't get lost! Applejack winked at her sister, and the ponies merrily ran towards the gorge.
The road was straight as an arrow, and the cold autumn wind howled wildly in the stone corridor. The ponies only smiled, took out their warm leggings from their bags, wrapped each other's necks in scarves and rushed forward - only their hooves clattered.
The gorge seemed endless. And to the right and to the left, rocks hung menacingly, threatening to crush the travelers.
- We have been running for an hour, but the gorge does not end! Apple Bloom complained. - My hooves are frozen, and it is so inconvenient to carry a basket!
- Keep your nose up, little sister! Applejack encouraged her. - It's over soon!
Of course, the older pony wasn't sure about that. But after another twenty minutes the road turned and the travelers saw a gap between the rocks.
- Push it, Apple Bloom! - shouted the older sister and ran with all her might to where the rocks parted, releasing the road to the open space of the Desert Plain. Soon the ponies were already greedily breathing in the clean air of freedom, getting out of the terrible cold corridor.
The road, wagging, went somewhere forward. And to the right and to the left was a wasteland overgrown with grass. Only a small group of trees could be seen far, far away on the horizon.
“I don’t think these are apple trees,” Applejack sighed sadly. - But there we will find wood for the fire. Let's go there?
- Well, - Applebloom nodded sadly and thought that she should have stayed at home, closer to a warm bed. The little pony was smart and guessed that her sister again did not know where to go.
The travelers galloped towards the horizon, leaving behind the inhospitable Rocky Gorge. Running on grass was much more pleasant than running on prickly stones, and the wind did not whistle in my ears. The trees got closer and closer, and Applejack suddenly thought that someone was sitting under one of them.
- Let's step up, Apple Bloom! she commanded her sister. “Looks like a pony is waiting for us.
They crossed the last meters to the trees in one breath, and saw that under the old sprawling tree none other than Twilight Sparkle was lying and reading a book. In the coming darkness, she illuminated the pages with her magic horn to make out the letters.
- Sparkle! - surprised Applebloom! And what are you doing here?
- Hello, girls! - Polite Sparkle greeted.
- Oh yes, of course, hello! - Applejack hastily corrected herself - she also really wanted to be a polite pony. "So why did you go so far from home?"
"We're not far," Twilight objected. - Ponyville is nearby, and it's a very nice, quiet place to read.
- How close? HOW SO - NEARBY? Applejack screamed in disbelief.
Twilight took a scroll of paper out of her bag and smoothed it out with her hooves.
- This is - she pointed to the painted tower - Ponyville, and this - she nodded at the clumsy drawing of a tree - the place where we are now sitting.
Apple Bloom stared at the paper without blinking. The distance from Ponyville to the dry tree really seemed very small, and a winding path led to the city through a field and a small patch of forest. Considered Applejack and her route with her sister:
- How so? How so? That is, we went through the forest like this... And then along the Great Stony Gorge... We made such a huge detour! Why didn't Granny Smith know this?
- For everything, Applejack! - Sparkle was surprised, - Are you going on a trip without a map?!
"Yes," Applejack admitted sadly. - I didn't think that I would need a map.
- How did you not know that it is mandatory to take a map with you to an unfamiliar place! You don't know the way and could easily get lost! - gently chided her friend, but then smiled. - Here, take mine. I've been here a lot and I'll get home without any problems! Happily!
Left alone, Applejack and Apple Bloom easily found three Evergreen Apple trees marked with round apples on the map. Soon the ponies got there and decided to spend the night in order to harvest during daylight hours. As they spread their blankets, they discussed the day and their adventures.
“Just think, if your sister wasn’t so stupid and took the map, we could be already at home, in our beds ...” Applejack lamented.
- It's okay, sister, we'll still go traveling, and next time we won't forget the map! Apple Bloom comforted her.
Waking up in the morning, the ponies saw three beautiful apple trees with huge juicy fruits above their heads. The trees rustled their leaves affably, as if inviting them to harvest. Soon Applejack and Apple Bloom each had a basket full of apples. Following the path shown to them yesterday by Twilight, they found themselves in Ponyville and soon were already at home.
Granny Smith was very happy about the return of the travelers and baked them a huge magnificent cake.
This is how Applejack forever remembered that when going on a trip, you always need to take with you a map of the place where you are going to go.
